XJ750 Police bike

What, so I could have got it cheaper off you? lol!

Yeah she's coming along, want to have her in full MOT/Police mode for the parade/display day were having for my fire brigades centennial early next year.

 

Na probably not lol... That is a minter, I really shouldn't have sold it

At least it went to a good home

 

Heya Bushy

Nah, she's got a few more on her than that unfortunately!

Same fairing as a 900.

 

thats just cool looking

 

Hmmm theres been more chopping on this wiring than there was in the French Revolution!

The W/R (White/Red) wire From the battery sender has been cut off at the edge of the loom and the W/R wires going into the ignition switch have been cut off just prior to going into the rear of the switch.

Now I see from the wiring diagram that the W/R goes into the ignition switch and then out again and into the computer, changing color to L/W (Blue/White) just before it enters the computer.

Does anyone know if I can just put a feed of, say, + 5V INTO the L/W wire going into the computer, thereby bypassing all the other wiring that would have come from the battery sender?

Any suggestions please?

 

Yeah, mine has that too, after about the fourth homeless bum or random friend pointed it out I took it off. Guess what, it only fits upside down. I guess somebody got some other Yamaha cover from a non-maxim. oh well

 

Ummm, wot?

 

Bump

 

The electrolyte level sensor goes into the fourth cell from the - end of the battery, so it should be expecting about 8V. You could use a resistor or a pair of resistors as a voltage divider to locally provide that 8V back to the computer up at the yoke end of the bike.

I will add, though, that, from my perspective, this is a hack/bypass, not a fix, unless part of the fix is to install an AGM battery as well. On my GPz somebody "fixed" the battery sensor, and I've trying to think what to do to fix it back, without having to spend $40 just for a new sensor.

Cheers,
Paul

 

Have put in the resistor as previously mentioned, looks good, occasionally the warning light still comes on so I'm thinking I need a slightly lower resistor or there's a break somewhere.

More importantly, nearly ended up in a ditch coming home after dark.

Riding along, happy as Larry when POW, no lights!

Instrument panel, low beam, high beam, side/parking all gone burger!

It was only luck that it happened on a straight!

After my arse had sucked up the seat leather and I'd managed to come to a halt I checked the fuse box, yup, blown 15A fuse, spares on board and light from the cell phone and back in action.

Think I might have to wire the parking/side lights up to a different fuse so that if it ever occurs again, I should still have enough light to (hopefully) see the fog line and center line.

Has anyone had any similar situations and/or fixes?

 

Run the Battery Level Sensor from an Ignition Switched +12Volt Source (Tail Light) ... through 2.5 Ohms of Resistance ... and them to the wire leading up to the Instrument Panel.

((Very nice Bike ...BTW ... I hope its running good))

 

I recon the fairing is a Shoei.

 

Hi Rick, yeah, that's my next option.

Wizard, fairing is the standard fairing that comes on the 750's/900's.

 

Yeh, the same as my 900, Shoei.

 

Rick, don't you mean more like 2.5 K Ohms of resistance?

 

Yes.

2K -or- 2.5K Ohm Resistor 1/2 Watt ...

It's not clear to me if it should be from a +12V-B (Hot) -or- from a +12V-Ign (Switched) source.

 

Woot!

There she is in all her glory, finished just in time for my Fire Brigade (Dept.) 100yr Centennial Parade/Display.

 

Beautiful Bike.
Looks like a Cop Bike.
Reminds me of a story.

"Let me see your drivers license, registration and proof of insurance. The speed limit on this stretch of highway is 65 miles per hour."

"Please exit your vehicle and take a seat next to me in my cruiser, please, Mr. Massey."

"Mr. Massey. This is VASCAR Computer. It's the latest technology in vehicle speed detecting technology. I have a certificate to prove I am an expert in its use. Would you please the display out loud for me, Mr. Massey?"

"Ninety-nine point nine nine nine, Sir!"

"Mr. Massey. That's as high as that goes! And, you don't know why I pulled you over"???

 

Johno your bike looks great..do you get any grief from The Police about it?

Here's a pic for ya Western Aus I think

 

The Australian Police still use these Bikes on duty?
